About Foursquare ECS Mark XXVI Magisterium
“Mastery” A blend of three distinct 16 Year Single Blended Rums, distilled in the copper Double-Retort Pot Still and the Continuous Twin Column Coffey Still of Foursquare. Two of the rums were double maturations, one aging 3 years in Ex-Bourbon Casks, then 13 additional years in Ex-Oloroso Sherry Barrels-the other aging 9 years in Ex-Bourbon followed by 7 years in Ex-Oloroso Sherry. The last was a Single Blended Rum matured entirely in Ex-Bourbon Casks for 16 years. All aging, blending and bottling occurring entirely on-site at Foursquare Rum Distillery.
Tasting Notes for Foursquare ECS Mark XXVI Magisterium
Soft, elegant and savory. Mid-draw cigar notes, rich and full across the palate, notes of hazelnut, dark cocoa, orange zest, s’mores-toasted leaning into lightly charred marshmallow. Lingering hints of fresh blueberry on the palate with a touch of hazelnut. An incredible sip from start to finish.

Production Notes
Two of the rums were double maturations, one aging 3 years in Ex-Bourbon Casks, then 13 additional years in Ex-Oloroso Sherry Barrels-the other aging 9 years in Ex-Bourbon followed by 7 years in Ex-Oloroso Sherry. The last was a Single Blended Rum matured entirely in Ex-Bourbon Casks for 16 years. The distillation process takes place in both pot and column stills, retaining the richness of traditional distilling methods. The result is a rum of enhanced complexity and refinement that invites you to explore, taste, and appreciate its nuanced character.
